[size=14]The following information is taken from an Imperial pamphlet, written in 3E 425 to entice citizens of the empire to start a new life in Reich Parkeep.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

History

Reich Parkeep is, in some respects, a divided city. During most of it's history it was no more than a Redoran outpost constantly threatened by Nordic raiding parties coming through the Velothi Mountains, from their settlements in Skyrim. Long after the imperial occupation of Morrowind, the Empire decided to finally bring peace to the area. They built a large legion fortress on one of the hills, which ended the constant warfare. And with the legions there, imperial settlers soon arrived and eventually the Imperial district outgrew the twin hills. But at the same time, the Redoran settlement also grew quickly, as House Redoran tried to counter the imperial presence with their own.

The Basics

'The most striking feature of Reich Parkeep must be the Imperial Citadel which, unlike most fortifications, is located in the middle of town. If you want to go there, you should follow the path between the bookstore (28) and the Guild of Traders (31). That path will lead into the Imperial District, from which an aquaduct connects to the north hill, on which the citadel is built. A nimble adventurer might make it onto the bridge connecting the citadels by running up the steep hillside and jumping over the railing... but that tends to make the guards nervous, so this may be best avoided.'

Places to see

If you're aching for something to drink, and you don't consider Dunmer to be good company, head on over to The Golden Gryffin (22) for that rustic, imperial atmosphere. If you're Dunmer yourself, or just enjoy their company, you are sure to find welcome over at the Sleepy Guar Inn (16).

Got a broken sword, or a lust for a new one? Our Master Smith, Taran Selaro (6), will certainly be at your service. His workshop is located near the Temple. Need to look something up? The city's bookseller, Cyra Catella (28) might have the tome you need. On the other hand if you're in the market for an enchanted ring or a magic scroll, Vanikien Oram (26) could have it in his shoppe. If you need something special, Ahiram Belah (30) is the man to see.'

People to meet

Local affairs of our city are decided by Remo, Imperial Baron of Reich Parkeep (20). While his power over the city is unquestionable, Baron Remo is sensitive to Redoran traditions and feelings. When it comes to issues affecting the Dunmer, he always has an ear open for advice from Areya, Redoran Master Lord of Reich Parkeep (10).

Flavius Nuntius (21) is the commander of the Imperial Legion in Reich Parkeep, and might have a job for you if you're inclined to work for the Legion. Flavius has an uneasy truce (of sorts) with Erabu Sakatosh (9), head of the Redoran guard in the city. People still talk about 'The Battle under the Bridge' last year, when Erabu - after having cleared the Sleepy Guar's stock of Graija - decided to teach "that impudent swit" a lesson. He took a swaying stand under the bridge and yelled up at the Keep, daring Flavius to come down from his hiding place (as he put it). According to the local tales, Flavius wandered onto the bridge and, overlooking Erabu, emptied a cauldron of vegetable soup on him. The Imperials laughed at Erabu's embarrasment, and the Redoran guards ridiculed Flavius for not coming down and fight, and in the end it turned out to be an episode neither of them wants to hear about again. People say if you listen closely enough, you can still hear them grumble about their unfinished business.'

This pamphlet is a player Guide to one of our towns, Reich Parkeep, in the Silgrad Tower mod (see www.silgrad.com for more information). It's written for the Morrowind version, but we figured we'd keep it like this, since the Empire wouldn't produce tourist brouchures with Daedra roaming about

Kindly do NOT edit this text in any way. Our team can't have stories from Silgrad Tower on Tes F'Ruum that are inconsistant with our world. If someone wants to suggest a change, please post a reply in this thread. If I agree I'll change it, if not, you are free to delete it.

Thanks!

The image in the post is hosted on an image dump site, so it will probably stop working after awhile. The link leads to a full-scale picture on our site though, so you can save that later when the image gets deleted from the dump site.

Good, but maybe you might need the pamphlet to sound more... pamphlaty? It sounds quite... advertising, but maybe it needs a bit more advertising to be realistic.
